Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Wayne Attoe and Donn Logan propose a specifically American theory of urban design. They see the characteristic features of American cities - the grid, loft buildings, distinctive styling - as opportunities for an American rather than a European-derived urbanism. Their paradigm of urban regeneration should interest practising architects and urban policymakers as well as students of urban design.

Nota de la solapa:

"Any study which provides a better understanding of the peculiar characteristics of American urbanism, particularly with respect to its real differences from traditional European models, is extremely useful. I foundAmerican Urban Architecture thoughtful and provocative and strongly recommend it to all who are involved with the search for better urban design strategies for the American city. Attoe and Logan deserve our attention and respect."Jacquelin T. Robertson, Cooper Robertson + Partners, New York; former Dean, University of Virginia School of Architecture
